Everyone who wants to live a Godly life will experience pressure. In fact, every personal failure of ours comes about by succumbing to the pressures of life. We all come to situations that seem like they are lose-lose. Nehemiah 6 gives us an extraordinary example of how to stand under pressure. Nehemiah connects who he is to what he does. His answer to temptation is “Should a man like me do this?” This is the correct response to pressure. Pressure tests our identity, not our ability. When we give into pressure, we identify as people who crumble under pressure. When you feel you are choosing the best of 2 bad decisions, knowing your identity creates clarity. Knowing his identity kept Nehemiah committed to the mission. Nehemiah and the people completely rebuilt the wall in 52 days, and the surrounding people perceived that it was a work of God. When we know who we are, we are able to complete works that are clearly of God.
